general problems of the 2016 Tesla Model X - part 2

Chip failure in mcu caused turn signals to stop working at approx 65,000 miles. Known defect to Tesla and should be replaced as a recall as they changed the chip type for vehicles made in 2018 or newer due to this defect. The failure of this chip is a safety issue and they are currently charging owners $1500-$2500 to fix.

While reversing into my driveway, we heard a loud bang sound as if I ran over something, I stopped the car to make sure I didn't run over anything, which I didn't. I put the car back in reverse and can hear big scraping sound, it was the tire hitting wheel well. After further inspection, I found the right fore link was completely off the joint and hanging there.

Was driving at 19 mph in city street and had to make a panic stop due to a car about to cut me off. Heard a loud bang. I got out of the car and the driver side front wheel is displaced. Further investigation I can see the lower driver side control arm had broken . Car was not drivable without a loud crunching sound. I had it towed to the Tesla service center.

Mcu computer has failed multiple times, including one time, middle of a very hot summer day, turning on high heat and rolling up windows, until computer rebooted (seemed like forever), while on the freeway. Tesla later notified us of a recall of the mcu, but repeatedly denied our claim, even though they admitted the mcu was the culprit, "just 'cause". The steering is greatly affected by front motor and its half-shafts. Had repaired right before warranty expired, but the problem remained. Tesla techs all warned us that it would happen again, which it did shortly after, and Tesla refused to repair it again, except to replace the failed components with identical components, all at our cost (thousands of dollars). Tesla techs said that the problem was a notoriously bad design of the half-shafts. They said it was fixed in newer front drive units, but that our only option was to keep replacing the defectively designed parts. When it has this problem, the car wants to steer left or right, but never straight ahead, and can pull suddenly to one side, making driver appear to be drunk from the sudden left-right-left-right motions. Tesla experts have told us that the only fix is to buy a new Tesla.

Left front suspension fore link cracked and fell off. Vehicle was only backing up out of garage and steering wheel was turned to the left when a loud crack was heard from under the vehicle. The back up speed was only 1-2 mph. Luckily, I was still in my driveway taking my kids to school. I can't imagine what the outcome would have been if it broken 5 minutes later on the highway with the kids inside the car.

The control arm broke while backing out of parking space. I did not run over anything when it happened. When I pulled back forward the front end lifted up. I hate to think what could have happened at high speed,.

The enhanced autopilot software drives the car over lane lines and inconsistently maintains speed and braking. It is unsafe.

The suspension (the front half shaft) has repeatedly failed and has been replaced multiple times by Tesla. First it was replaced under warranty and now we are paying for it as it is no longer covered under the warranty.
